One Great Life Story of Coming Back

The following story from the NY Times this Christmas Day (and I hope they let you see the video) is all about coming back and understanding the beauty of living and life. Elizabeth Roxas-Dobrish has an artificial hip and returning to the rigors of ballet at 55 years of age had to take great courage. There is a lesson here for all, young or old; feel life now, let every minute touch you.

"When you're younger, you have everything - you have the flexibility, you have no fear. But you don't savor every step, every movement of every fingertip, every beat of the music. I feel like I'm tasting food for the first time."

ELIZABETH ROXAS-DOBRISH, on dancing Alvin Ailey's "Revelations" again at age 55.

About Me

Born in Northeast Pennsylvania, raised in central New Jersey. After high school I spent 3 years in the US Army as a field service technician. Graduated from the University of Kentucky with a BS in Accounting and now teaching computer application software. I have enjoyed my life connected to technology in one way or another. I will continue learning whatever I can about the latest in technology. This so I can become a better resource and personally more efficient. I write often on technology and life at the Curious Voyager, which I believe the title reflects my approach to life. I like to think of life itself in terms of the title of Richard Feynman's book "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out".
